ABSTRACT 

Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail), on behalf of the Virginia Department of Rail and 

Public Transportation (DRPT), conducted a reconnaissance-level architectural survey of the 

structures within the Washington, D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) 

Project. The proposed Project is being completed under the auspices of the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) in conjunction with DRPT. Because of FRA’s involvement, the 

undertaking is required to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and 

Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. The Project is being 

completed as Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) File Review #2014-0666. 

The current study included a reconnaissance-level survey and National Register of Historic 

Places (NRHP) evaluations of all structures over 48 years of age (the age limit was developed to 

correspond with the anticipated 2017 project completion date) along the architectural area of 

potential effects (APE) of the entire 123-mile DC2RVA corridor. For the purposes of the current 

report, the architectural APE is defined as extending 500 feet on either side of the center of the 

existing railroad alignment except in urban areas, where the APE is limited to one city block to 

either side of the existing rail centerline, plus any areas where alterations to a resource’s setting 

and feeling are likely to occur as a result of the Project. All other above-ground resources, 

including buildings, districts, and objects, that meet the NRHP 48-year age criterion within the 

architectural APE of the DC2RVA corridor are discussed in separate reports spanning the entire 

123-mile corridor. The results of the archaeological survey results are also discussed in separate 

reports. 

In total, the DC2RVA Project Team surveyed 126 resources (structures) over 48 years in age 

within the DC2RVA corridor, 32 of which were previously recorded and 94 were newly 

recorded structures. Thirteen of the newly recorded structures were not easily accessible due to 

No Trespassing and safety concerns, but were evaluated based on mapping and engineering 

documentation. 

Of the 126 structures, nine structures are recommended potentially eligible/remain eligible for 

the NRHP. Seven of which are previously recorded (007-5513, 029-5724 , 088-5364, 111-0132-

0025, 127-5809, 127-6792, 127-6793) and two of which are newly recorded (500-0001 and 500-

0001-0022). Five of those recommended eligible/potentially eligible are also recommended as 

contributing elements to a historic district. The remaining 117 structures are recommended not 

individually eligible for listing in the NRHP. However, 54 of these structures are recommended 

as potentially contributing to one or more historic districts.

INTRODUCTION 

Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail), on behalf of the Virginia Department of Rail and 

Public Transportation (DRPT), conducted a reconnaissance-level architectural survey of 

structures along the Rosslyn to Alexandria (ROAF) through Buckingham Branch/Hospital Wye 

(BBHW) segments of the Washington, D.C. to Richmond (DC2RVA) project. The project is being 

completed as Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) File #2014-0666. 

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and DRPT propose passenger rail service and rail 

infrastructure improvements in the north-south travel corridor between Washington, D.C. and 

Richmond, VA. These passenger rail service and rail infrastructure improvements are 

collectively known as the DC2RVA Project. The Project will deliver higher speed passenger rail 

service, increase passenger and freight rail capacity, and improve passenger rail service 

frequency and reliability in a corridor shared by growing volumes of passenger, commuter, and 

freight rail traffic, thereby providing a competitive option for travelers going between 

Washington, D.C. and Richmond and those traveling to and from adjacent connecting corridors. 

The Project is part of the larger Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) corridor (Figure 1-1), which 

extends from Washington, D.C. through Richmond, VA, and from Richmond continues east to 

Hampton Roads (Norfolk), VA and south to Raleigh, NC, and Charlotte, NC, and then 

continues west to Atlanta and south to Florida. The Project connects to the National Railroad 

Passenger Corporation (Amtrak) Northeast Corridor (NEC) at Union Station in Washington, 

D.C. 

The purpose of the SEHSR program, as stated in the 2002 Tier I Final Environmental Impact 

Statement (EIS) completed for the full SEHSR corridor, is to provide a competitive 

transportation choice to travelers within the Washington, D.C. to Charlotte travel corridor. The 

purpose of the current Washington, D.C. to Richmond SEHSR project described here is to fulfill 

the purpose of the SEHSR Tier I EIS within this segment of the larger SEHSR corridor. The 

Project, by increasing rail capacity and improving travel times between Washington, D.C. and 

Richmond, will improve passenger train performance and reliability in the corridor, enabling 

intercity passenger rail to be a competitive transportation choice for travelers between 

Washington, D.C. and Richmond and beyond. 

Given FRA’s funding involvement and permitting through various other federal agencies, the 

DC2RVA project is required to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation 

Act of 1966, as amended, and its implementing regulations under 36CFR800. Additionally, all 

cultural resource work was designed to comply with the Virginia Antiquities Act (Code of 

Virginia § 10.1-2300) and guidelines and regulations promulgated by the DHR as necessary.

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-3 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

1.1 PROJECT LOCATION

The Washington, D.C. to Richmond corridor spans 123 miles along an existing rail corridor 

owned by CSX Transportation (CSXT) between Control Point RO (milepost [MP] CFP 110) in 

Arlington, VA to the CSXT A-Line and S-Line junction at MP A-11 in Centralia, VA 

(Chesterfield County) (Figure 1-2). For the purposes of engineering and environmental 

planning, the DC2RVA corridor has been subdivided into 22 segments that correspond with 

improvements and alternatives, and as such have been named and numbered from north to 

south (Figure 1-3). At the northern terminus in Arlington, VA, the Project limit ends at the 

southern approach to Long Bridge, a double-track rail bridge taking the rail corridor over the 

Potomac River; however, the northern terminus of Union Station in Washington, D.C. will be 

used for ridership and revenue forecasting, as well as service development planning within the 

Project corridor. The southern terminus in Centralia is the junction of two CSXT routes that 

begin in Richmond and rejoin approximately 11 miles south of the city. 

Additional segments of the Project include approximately 8.3 miles of the CSXT Peninsula 

Subdivision CA-Line from Beulah Road (MP CA-76.1) in Henrico County, VA to AM Junction 

in the City of Richmond, and the approximately 26-mile Buckingham Branch Railroad (BBR) 

from AM Junction to the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac Railway (RF&P) Crossing (MP 

CA-111.8) in Doswell, VA. 

Proposed improvements are along CSXT-owned track, generally parallel to the I-95 corridor 

between northern Virginia and Richmond. From north to south, the project travels through the 

following counties and cities: 

 Arlington County 

 City of Alexandria 

 Fairfax County 

 Prince William County 

 Stafford County 

 City of Fredericksburg 

 Spotsylvania County 

 Caroline County 

 Hanover County 

 Henrico County 

 City of Richmond 

 Chesterfield County 

In Arlington, the Project connects to existing CSXT track extending across the Potomac River on 

the Long Bridge into Washington, D.C. and Union Station, the southern terminus of Amtrak’s 

Northeast Corridor (NEC). At Centralia, the Project connects to both the Richmond to Raleigh 

segment of the SEHSR corridor and the Richmond to Hampton Roads segment of the SEHSR 

corridor.

INTRODUCTION 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-6 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

The Washington, D.C. to Richmond segment is an integral part of the overall 

Washington, D.C. to Charlotte SEHSR corridor and provides a critical link between high speed 

intercity passenger service from Boston to Washington, D.C. and the southeastern United States. 

1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 

The DC2RVA project will include specific rail infrastructure improvements and service 

upgrades intended to improve the travel time, service frequency, and on-time performance of 

passenger trains operating between Washington, D.C. and Richmond, VA. Specific 

improvements to the existing rail infrastructure between Arlington, VA, and Centralia, VA 

include: 

 Corridor-wide upgrades to existing track and signal systems to achieve higher operating 

speeds, including curve realignments, higher-speed crossovers between tracks, passing 

sidings, and grade crossing improvements. 

 Corridor-wide improvements to train operating capacity to achieve higher passenger 

train service frequency and reliability, including an additional main track along most of 

the corridor, and additional controlled sidings, crossovers, yard bypasses and leads, and 

other capacity and reliability improvements at certain locations. 

 Station and platform improvements for Amtrak and Virginia Railway Express (VRE) 

stations. 

The Tier II EIS being completed for the Project will assess the environmental impacts of these 

improvements and identify ways to avoid, minimize, or otherwise mitigate such impacts. 

The Project may include locations for new or replacement intercity passenger stations on the 

Project corridor, and additional rail capacity and other improvements in the Richmond area, 

including on the CSXT Peninsula Subdivision from AM Junction in Richmond, VA (just north of 

Main Street Station) east to Beulah Road in Henrico County, and on the bypass areas around the 

Town of Ashland, VA and the City of Fredericksburg, VA. 

Studies in support of the Project will address passenger and freight rail operations and service 

between Union Station in Washington, D.C. and Richmond and beyond, but the Project does 

not include physical improvements to the Long Bridge across the Potomac River or to rail 

infrastructure within Washington, D.C. Other projects will address improvements to the rail 

infrastructure north of Arlington and south of Centralia along the SEHSR corridor. 

1.3 PREVIOUS CULTURAL RESOURCE STUDIES 

The DC2RVA corridor has been the subject of previous and ongoing cultural resource 

investigations. 

The DC2RVA corridor overlaps the Richmond to Raleigh (R2R) segment of the SEHSR project. 

The corridor between Richmond and Raleigh has been the subject of several cultural resource 

investigations over the past decade. This includes the area of potential effects (APE) 

surrounding the rail corridor itself as well as the APE of all road modification areas 

surrounding the rail line. Work was conducted between 2004 and 2012 by Mattson, Alexander 

and Associates, Inc., Legacy Research Associates, Inc., Louis Berger Group, Inc., and Dovetail. 

The results of these studies have been individually coordinated with the DHR, including the 
INTRODUCTION 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-7 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

submission of reports and Digital Sharing Service (DSS)/Virginia Cultural Resource 

Information System (V-CRIS) forms to the agency as well as formal resource eligibility 

recommendations for listing in the NRHP. Project effect determinations, on individual historic 

properties as well as the R2R segment of the SEHSR project as a whole, were acquired in 2009 

and 2013. Preparation of a Memorandum of Agreement to outline stipulations to mitigate 

adverse effects is currently underway. Due to this ongoing work, the current architectural 

investigation did not include those structures that were surveyed as part of the R2R study; 

however, they are listed in a table found in the current survey results section (Results Section 

3.1, p. 3-1). 

In 2010, McCormick Taylor conducted Phase I cultural resource investigations along the 

Powells Creek to Arkendale (PCAR) segment of the current DC2RVA corridor (McCormick 

Taylor 2010a, 2010b). The architectural investigation identified 11 structures within the defined 

APE and the archaeological study identified no sites or features within the APE. Based on these 

results and the ensuing recommendations, the DHR found the proposed rail improvements in 

this segment of the DC2RVA corridor would have no adverse effect on historic properties. 

Given this recommendation and through consultation with the DHR, the current archaeological 

investigation does not include identification and evaluation studies of the PCAR segment of the 

DC2RVA corridor. 

A 2008 Programmatic Agreement (PA) based on a 1997 MOA, between Virginia Department of 

Transportation (VDOT) and DHR outlined that steel beam/concrete deck bridges are not 

individually eligible for listing in the NRHP if they do not meet the following characteristics: 

1. An early example, built in 1933 or earlier. 

2. A bridge with relatively great spans, 100 feet or greater. 

3. Other characteristics such as: 

a. Association with other historic transportation resources, like the Blue Ridge 

Parkway; or 

b. Extraordinary design characteristics, such as the Art Deco design elements on 

Roanoke structures no. 1826, 1815, and 8003; or 

c. Environmentally responsive design features, like the rustic stone veneer of 

Rockbridge County Structure no. 1012; or 

d. Commemorative or memorial function, such as World War I memorial Bland 

County Structure no. 1021; or 

e. Innovative materials or technology in their construction; or 

f. Bridges designed in response to particularly challenging engineering problems. 

However, any steel beam/concrete deck bridge may be considered a contributing resource to a 

historic district. 

Dovetail is also conducting ongoing Phase I and II architectural investigations of other aboveground architectural resources, including buildings, objects and districts, along the DC2RVA 

corridor. These studies are currently in progress, both in terms of survey and reporting, but are 

being completed by DC2RVA segment. These reports provide architectural background review 

results, along with historic contexts and survey results and recommendations (see Staton and 

Lesiuk 2015). As such, the current structures report does not include 
INTRODUCTION 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-8 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

recommendations/evaluations pertaining to architectural resources included in those reports. 

Full discussions and recommendations pertaining to these resources can be found in the 

corresponding architectural reports. Additionally, the current report does not include 

background review or historic context sections, as these are presented in the previously 

mentioned architectural reports (see Staton and Lesiuk 2015). In addition, all results of the 

Phase I archaeological investigation are presented in a separate report (Klein et al. 2015; 

McCloskey et al. 2016). 

1.4 CURRENT STUDY 

The current study included a reconnaissance architectural survey of all structures within the 

entire 123-mile DC2RVA corridor (see Figure 1-3). The architectural survey was conducted to 

evaluate both previously recorded properties that have not been evaluated for the NRHP, as 

well as any unrecorded structure over 48 years in age (the age limit was developed to 

correspond to the anticipated 2017 project completion date). Culverts consisting of pipe or 

concrete box beam construction smaller than 6 feet were not documented or evaluated further 

for this survey. 

Any property in the APE that has been previously determined to be eligible, or is listed in, the 

NRHP was briefly reviewed to assure that the characteristics that rendered the property eligible 

are still intact. For the purposes of the current report, the architectural APE is defined as 

extending 500 feet on either side of the centerline of the existing railroad alignment, except in 

urban areas, where the APE is limited to one city block to either side of the existing rail 

centerline, plus any areas where alterations to a structure’s setting and feeling are likely to occur 

as a result of the Project. All other above-ground resources that meet the NRHP age criteria 

within the architectural APE of the DC2RVA corridor, including buildings, objects, and 

districts, were included in previous DC2RVA reports will be included in separated reports. In 

addition, the results of the archaeological survey are discussed in separate documents. 

Each structure was evaluated with regard to NRHP Criterion A, for its association with events 

that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; Criterion B, for its 

association with people significant in our nation’s history; Criterion C, for its embodiment of 

distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the 

work of a master, or possess high artistic values. As part of the current survey, these 

architectural structures were not evaluated under Criterion D for its potential to yield 

information important in history. Criteria considerations were taken into account only where 

necessary. 

The architectural APE was first reviewed through an architectural and historical background 

literature and records search at DHR. The APE was then visually inspected through a vehicular 

and pedestrian reconnaissance to identify structures over 48 years in age where a NRHP 

determination had not been made. Once identified, each resource was evaluated for 

architectural significance and historic and physical integrity. The structures were documented 

through written notes and digital photographs. The information obtained during the survey 

was then used to update or generate a new DHR Virginia Cultural Resource Information 

System (V-CRIS) form and to make recommendations on each resource’s NRHP potential. 
 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 2-1 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

METHODOLOGY 

A background literature and records review of the APE at the DHR was completed as 

part of the reconnaissance survey completed during the previous architectural studies 

for the Project. This included an inspection of previous cultural resource surveys within the 

architectural APE and the notation of previously recorded architectural properties both within 

the APE and within a 0.5-mile radius of the APE to establish an area resource context. The 

reports for those studies are currently in progress and are being completed by DC2RVA 

segment. Each document includes the architectural background review results, along with 

historic contexts for that segment (see, for example, Staton and Lesiuk 2015). As such, this 

report does not include background review and historic context sections. In addition, all results 

of the archaeological background review and predictive model, and the Phase I archaeological 

investigation are presented in separate reports (Klein et al. 2015; McCloskey et al. 2016). 

During the field recordation, for previously recorded structures that were previously 

determined eligible for or listed in the NRHP within the architectural APE, the DC2RVA team 

briefly examined these properties to assure that they retain the characteristics that rendered 

them eligible for the NRHP, but in-depth studies were not completed on these structures. 

During the architectural survey of both newly recorded and previously identified resources, the 

project’s architectural APE was surveyed through a combination of a vehicular and pedestrian 

reconnaissance (as previously outlined in Section 1-4). Above-ground properties meeting the 

age criteria of the NRHP were documented through photographs, written notes, and mapping. 

This includes buildings, objects, and districts that are within the project boundaries and in the 

viewshed of the project area. Digital photos were taken of each property documenting 

elevations, approaches, architectural details, oblique angles, and general setting. 

After the architectural field project was completed, the project team prepared separate V-CRIS 

forms and accompanying documentation for each recorded property in accordance with DHR 

policies and practices. Each V-CRIS packet includes a V-CRIS form, site plan, set of hard-copy 

black & white photographs, and a CD of digital photos for each property. The hard copy and 

electronic versions of the photographs were labeled and prepared according to DHR standards.

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-1 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

RESULTS 

The architectural investigation of the DC2RVA project involved a field survey of above-ground 

structures over 48 years in age within the Project’s architectural APE. Both previously recorded 

properties and newly recorded structures were included as part of the current evaluation to 

achieve cultural resource compliance. The current survey identified 32 previously recorded 

structures and 94 newly recorded structures, for a total of 126 structures. Thirteen of the newly 

recorded structures were not easily accessible due to No Trespassing and safety concerns, but 

were evaluated based on mapping and engineering documentation. Eleven additional 

previously recorded structures were not revisited because they were recently surveyed as a part 

of the R2R segment of the SEHSR reconnaissance-level survey and received eligibility 

determinations by DHR (Section 3.1). 

3.1 STRUCTURES WITHIN THE PREVIOUS SEHSR SURVEY 

Within the architectural APE of the ROAF through BBHW segments of the DC2RVA corridor, 

there are 11 structures that were recently surveyed as part of the R2R portion of the SEHSR 

project. Based on consultation with the DHR on February 18, 2016, they were not formally 

revisited during the current investigation; in addition, if a historic district was documented and 

received an eligibility determination during the R2R survey, the structures within that district 

were also not revisited. The table below lists the structures within the architectural APE of the 

DC2RVA that were surveyed as part of the R2R segment of the SEHSR survey and were given 

eligibility determinations. Therefore, these structures were not included in the current report 

(Table 3-1).

3.2 PREVIOUSLY RECORDED RESOURCES (STRUCTURES) 

This survey identified 32 previously recorded structures within the architectural APE (Table 3-

2, Figures 3-1 through 3-22). Of the 32 previously recorded structures, one resource was listed to 

the VLR (Fort Belvoir Military Railroad Historic Corridor [029-5724]), but not evaluated for 

NRHP eligibility and six have been previously listed in or determined potentially 

eligible/eligible for the NRHP (see pages 3-32 through 3-39). Seven additional structures were 

determined not eligible for listing in the NRHP by the DHR. However, because the eligibility 
RESULTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-3 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

evaluations occurred over five years ago, these structures were re-evaluated during the current 

survey (see page 3-39). The remaining 17 previously recorded structures within the DC2RVA 

corridor had not received a formal eligibility evaluation from DHR staff. 

Two previously recorded railroad segments (076-0301 and 088-5413) are small, localized 

portions of the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad (RF&P); however, the current 

study documented the RF&P in its entirety (from the Potomac to the City of Richmond at Broad 

Street Station) and as a result, DHR combined those two smaller segments into one under a new 

number: 500-0001 as a newly surveyed resource (see page 3-113 for a discussion of this resource 

in its entirety). 

Table 3-2 lists the 32 previously recorded structures surveyed during the current project, along 

with the Project Team’s eligibility recommendations. Cells highlighted in red denote structures 

that should retain their previous eligibility determination (potentially eligible or eligible for, or 

listed in, the NRHP), while cells highlighted in blue denote structures recommended potentially 

eligible as a part of the current survey.

RESULTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-32 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

The Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad (also known as the Louisa Railroad and the Virginia 

Central Railroad) (007-5513) is a linear structure beginning at its eastern terminus at the rail 

station at Doswell running westward across the state to the City of Covington (Figure 3-23 and 

Figure 3-24). Established in 1836, the rail line was a significant mode of transportation for 

passengers and supplies traveling across the state during the nineteenth and early-twentieth 

centuries. Claudius Crozet, Virginia’s Chief Engineer between 1823–1832 and 1837–1843, 

sparked interest in the development of railroads within the state, which included the Virginia 

Central Railroad (later known as the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad). Because of its importance in 

transporting goods across a rocky terrain of western Virginia, it was defended by the 

Confederate Army and destroyed by the Union Army during the Civil War. The structure was 

surveyed in 2015 and determined by DHR to be potentially eligible for the NRHP for its 

association with Transportation, Commerce, Exploration/Settlement, the Civil War and 

Claudius Crozet (significant person). It is recommended that the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad 

(also known as the Louisa Railroad and the Virginia Central Railroad) (007-5513) remains 

potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criteria A and B. It is also recommended 

as a contributing structure to the Doswell Historic District (042-5448).

The Fort Belvoir Military Railroad Historic Corridor (029-5724) located in Fairfax County was 

listed to the VLR in June 2016 (Figure 3-25), but was never formally evaluated for NRHP 

eligibility. The structure, constructed in 1918, operated until 1993 and was listed to the VLR for 

its local significance to military and transportation related to the mobility of passengers and 

supplies to Camp A.A. Humphrey’s and Fort Belvoir during the first half of the twentieth 

century. The northern portion of the rail line falls within the architectural APE and appears to 

continue to have retained its railroad grade, ballast, and railroad-related structures like the 

pictured railroad bridge, despite the tracks being removed in the 1990s. Its current condition 

does not warrant a change to its VLR status. Therefore, it is recommended that the Fort Belvoir 

Military Railroad Historic Corridor (029-5724) remains listed to the VLR under Criterion A 

for local transportation and military significance and is recommended as potentially eligible 

for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A.

The Virginia Central Railway Historic District (088-5364) is a former railroad bed that begins 

in the City of Fredericksburg within the architectural APE near the Warren Truss Bridge (111-

0009-0017) at Lafayette Boulevard and is located within a historic district (Fredericksburg 

Historic District, 111-0009) and two battle sites (Fredericksburg I and I, 111-5295 and 111-5296) 

(Figure 3-26 and Figure 3-27). The rail bed, converted to a pedestrian/bike path in the 

Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania vicinity, runs westward for 38 miles, paralleling Lafayette 

Boulevard and Hazen Run, crossing through Fredericksburg, and Orange and Spotsylvania 

counties. Established after 1853, the railway provided access to western Virginia and was used 

in the Civil War specifically with the Battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and 

Wilderness. The railway was surveyed in 2010 and in 2015 and DHR determined that it was 

NRHP eligible in 2011. The rail bed within the architectural APE has not been altered since the 

previous survey. Therefore, it is recommended that the Virginia Central Railway Historic 

District (088-5364) retains integrity and significance and continues to be NRHP eligible 

under Criterion A (Commerce, Industry, Military, and Transportation). It is also recommended 

as a contributing resource to the Fredericksburg Historic District (111-0009), the Battle of 

Fredericksburg I (111-5295) and the Battle of Fredericksburg II (111-5296).

The Rappahannock River Railroad Bridge (111-0132-0025) spans the Rappahannock River and 

includes single and double-spans in downtown Fredericksburg (Figure 3-28 and Figure 3-29). 

The railroad bridge is located within multiple previously recorded historic districts: the 

Fredericksburg Historic District (111-0132), Bank’s Ford (088-5181), the Battle of Fredericksburg 

I (111-5295), the Battle of Fredericksburg II (111-5296), and the RF&P Railroad (500-0001). 

Constructed in 1927, the bridge is an excellent and rare example of a multiple-span, open 

spandrel, concrete-arch bridge with four 1927 concrete slab approach spans servicing the raised 

track to the Fredericksburg Station. Approximately 28 open-spandrel, arch bridges are located 

in Virginia, mostly located in the southern and western regions of the state. Therefore, it is 

recommended potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion C. It is also 

recommended as a contributing structure to the NRHP- and VLR- listed Fredericksburg 

Historic District (111-0132) and the RF&P Railroad (500-0001) having been constructed within 

the period of significance of these districts and having retained its integrity. Since it was 

constructed in 1927, it is recommended that the bridge is a noncontributing structure to the 

Civil War-related Bank’s Ford (088-5181), the Battle of Fredericksburg I (111-5295) and the 

Battle of Fredericksburg II (111-5296).

The Mayo Bridge, northern segment of 14th Street Bridge (127-5809), carries 14th Street across 

the James River in the NRHP-listed Manchester Warehouse and Industrial Historic District 

(127-0457) in the City of Richmond (Figure 3-30 and Figure 3-31). The vehicular bridge was 

constructed circa 1910 in the Beaux Arts style and is the northern segment of the larger Mayo 

Bridge with the southern segment (127-5808) spanning from Mayo Island to the southern bank 

of the James River. A bridge has existed at this location since 1788 and the current bridge is the 

oldest that spans the James River in the City of Richmond. DHR determined the bridge 

potentially eligible for the NRHP in 2015 under Criteria A and C (Transportation and 

Architecture). It is recommended that the Mayo Bridge, northern segment of 14th Street Bridge 

(127-5809) continues to be potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP and be considered a 

contributing structure to the Manchester Warehouse and Industrial Historic District (127-

0457). 

The Southern Railway (127-6792) is a railroad along the embankments of the James River 

beginning in the Shockoe Bottom area of the City of Richmond. The railway intersects with 

Bridge #2835 (127-5149) running westward on the north embankment and then runs south 

across the James River and then westward along the southern embankment of the river (Figure 

3-32). Constructed circa 1850, it serviced the city’s transportation needs in the nineteenth 

century. DHR determined that the railway is potentially NRHP eligible in 2015 under Criterion 

A (Transportation). It is recommended that the Southern Railway continue to be potentially 

eligible to the NRHP under Criterion A (Transportation).

westward along the north embankment of the James River to the Powhite Parkway (Figure 3-

33). The rail line, formerly known as the Virginia Central Railroad, was established circa 1851 

and provided access from the state’s capitol to central and western Virginia in the nineteenth 

century where previous travel was dominated by horse or water-related transportation. The 

railroad was surveyed in 2015 and determined by DHR to be potentially eligible for listing in 

the NRHP. It is recommended that the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad (127-6793) retain its 

status as potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criterion A related to 

transportation.

RESULTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-40 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

Two resources were previously determined eligible for the NRHP by DHR staff in 1990: the 

Fifth Street Bridge (127-0360) and the First Street Viaduct (127-0823) The seven previously 

recorded structures that were determined by DHR to be potentially eligible/eligible for listing 

in the NRHP include four railroad segments (007-5513, 088-5364, 127-6792, and 127-6793) and 

three vehicular bridges (127-0360, 127-0823, and 127-5809). When they were revisited during the 

current survey, the DC2RVA team determined that these resources underwent significant 

repairs in 1996 and 2000, respectively, to their superstructures and substructures. These 

alterations negatively affected the historic integrity and architectural significance of these 

resources. As such, it is recommended that they are now not eligible for the NRHP. 

The seven previously recorded structures that were determined by DHR to be not eligible for 

listing in the NRHP include vehicular bridges. Four vehicular bridges that crossed railroads 

have been replaced since DHR’s NRHP determination (016-0331, 016-5087, 020-0096, and 089-

5010) and one was removed (076-5206). The other two vehicular bridges are common steel beam 

bridge types constructed in 1958 (127-5149 and 127-6273). Dovetail recommends that these 

resources continue to be not eligible for the NRHP. 

The remaining 16 previously recorded structures have no outstanding architectural merit and 

are not known to be the work of a master. For these reasons, they are recommended not eligible 

for individual listing in the NRHP under Criterion C. They have no known association with a 

significant event or person and are not associated with any broad patterns in history. Therefore, 

they are recommended not eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A and B. As architectural 

structures, these properties were not evaluated under Criterion D. In sum, these 16 previously 

recorded structures are recommended not individually eligible for the NRHP under Criteria 

A–C. However, the DC2RVA Team recommends that 10 of the structures determined to be not 

eligible for the NRHP should be considered contributing to one or more of the historic districts 

in which they are situated (see Table 3-2). 

3.3 NEWLY RECORDED RESOURCES (STRUCTURES) 

Of the 126 structures recorded in the architectural APE of the DC2RVA during the current 

project, the Project Team documented 94 newly recorded structures (Table 3-3; Figures 3-34 

through 3-99). Of the newly recorded structures, 13 structures were not easily accessible due to 

No Trespassing and safety concerns, but were evaluated based on mapping and engineering 

documentation. 

The newly recorded structures along the architectural APE consist of railroad-related and 

vehicular bridges, culverts, signal towers, and rail line. There are 35 vehicular bridges and 33 

railroad bridges. Vehicular bridges, although of similar materials and construction, are 

designed to carry different weight loads than railroad-related bridges. Twenty-three culverts 

were found within the architectural APE and are another common structure that allow 

vehicular and railroad traffic to cross over a water source or an alternate travel route. Two 

interlocking or signal towers were surveyed as part of this report, although additional towers 

exist within the architectural APE and were previously recorded within past DC2RVA reports. 

They have the potential to be considered contributing structures to the RF&P Railroad (500-

0001), which was newly surveyed from the Potomac River to Richmond. 

Two newly recorded structures are recommended as potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP 

and three of these are located within a larger historic district; one of which is recommended as a 
RESULTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-41 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

contributing resource to the RF&P Railroad Historic District (500-0001). Two of the structures 

are recommended as contributing structures to a larger historic district. The majority of the 

newly recorded structures (n=92, 97.8 percent) have no outstanding architectural merit and are 

not known to be the work of a master. For these reasons, they are recommended not eligible for 

individual listing in the NRHP under Criterion C. They have no known association with a 

significant event or person and are not associated with any broad patterns in history. Therefore, 

they are recommended not eligible for the NRHP under Criteria A and B. As architectural 

structures, these properties were not evaluated under Criterion D. In sum, these 92 newly 

recorded structures are recommended not individually eligible for the NRHP under Criteria 

A–C. However, 74 of these structures that are recommended not eligible are located within one 

or more historic districts. Despite their lack of individual eligibility, the DC2RVA Team 

recommends that 45 of those 74 structures be considered contributing structures to larger 

historic districts.

RESULTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-113 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

The RF&P Railroad Historic District (500-0001), spans from its northern terminus at the 

Potomac River, south of the Long Branch Bridge, southward along its tracks to the Broad Street 

Station in the City of Richmond (currently known as the Science Museum of Virginia) (Figure 3-

100). Two previously recorded segments, the Prince William-Stafford-Quantico segment (076-

0301) and the Caroline-Hanover-Henrico-Spotsylvania segment (088-5413), fall within the rail 

line (the newly recorded rail line serves to encompass these two segments). The northern 

segment (076-0301) was determined by DHR to be potentially eligible for listing in the NRHP in 

2016 and the southern segment (088-5413) was determined by DHR to be NRHP eligible in 2012. 

Begun circa 1836, the rail line conveyed supplies and passengers throughout Virginia, 

shortening traveling from Richmond to Washington considerably compared to previous modes 

of transportation. Although some of the structures along the rail line and the tracks have been 

altered over the years, the layout of the rail line has largely remained intact and continues to be 

used by CSX. Therefore, it is recommended that the rail line is potentially eligible for 

individual listing in the NRHP under Criterion A (Transportation). Based on preliminary 

research, a potential period of significance for this resource is 1836 through 1943, when the 

railroad saw a decline passenger ridership (Griffin 1984). 

FIGURE 3-100: RF&P RAILROAD, LOOKING SOUTH IN MILFORD (500-0001) 

The Bridge carrying CSX Tracks over the Occoquan River (500-0001-0022) is located in 

Woodbridge, Fairfax County (Figure 3-101). Constructed in 1915 as a double-span, Parkerthrough-truss, railroad bridge, it contains steel plate, deck-girder approach spans over the river 

(Miller and Clark 1997:11; Parsons Brinckerhoff and Engineering and Industrial Heritage 2005:3-
RESULTS 

D.C. to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail 3-114 Architectural Reconnaissance Survey, Structures 

34–335). The bridge was constructed by well-known civil engineer Gustav Lindenthal and the 

Phoenix Bridge Company, a recognized company from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. The Parker 

truss design is a variation of the Pratt truss with seven segmented polygonal top chords. Truss 

bridges were more common in the nineteenth to early-twentieth century but have largely been 

replaced with more modern designed bridges. For these reasons, it is recommended that the 

Bridge carrying CSX Tracks over the Occoquan River, is potentially individually eligible to 

the NRHP under Criterion C. It is also recommended as a contributing resource to the RF&P 

Railroad (500-0001).

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS 

The DC2RVA Project Team conducted a reconnaissance-level architectural survey of structures 

within the DC2RVA corridor. The DC2RVA project is being completed under the auspices of 

the FRA in conjunction with the DRPT. Because of FRA’s involvement, the undertaking is 

required to comply with the NEPA and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 

1966, as amended. The Project is being completed as DHR File Review #2014-0666. 

In total, the DC2RVA Project Team conducted a survey of 126 structures within the corridor’s 

architectural APE. Of these, 32 are previously recorded and 94 newly recorded historic 

structures were identified (Table 4-1). Of the 126 total structures, it is recommended that the 

majority (n=117) are not eligible for individual listing in the NRHP. One previously recorded 

resource, the Virginia Central Railway Historic District (088-5364), was determined by DHR to 

be NRHP eligible. In addition, four previously recorded structures were determined by DHR to 

be potentially NRHP eligible (Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, 007-5513; Mayo Bridge, northern 

segment of 14th Street Bridge, 127-5809; Southern Railway, 127-6792; and Chesapeake & Ohio 

Railroad, 127-6793). The DC2RVA Project Team recommends that these structures should retain 

their previous eligibility status. 

In addition, as a result of the current survey, four structures are recommended potentially 

eligible for listing in the NRHP under Criteria A–C. These include two railroad historic districts 

(029-5724 and 500-0001) and two railroad bridges (111-0132-0025 and 500-0001-0022). 

In addition to their individual eligibility recommendation, several structures within the 

DC2RVA corridor, are located within the boundaries of potentially eligible/eligible for listing in 

the NRHP historic districts (n=99 or 78.5 percent). Of those, Dovetail recommends that 57 are 

contributing structures to their respective historic district(s) and 42 are noncontributing.

RE: Resource Eligibility/ Structures and Railroad Tracks 

 Southeast High Speed Rail Project, Washington, D.C. to Richmond Segment 

 DHR #2014-0666 

Dear Marc, 

The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation 

(DRPT) are continuing environmental studies associated with the Tier II Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond segment of the Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) corridor 

(Project). The limits of the Project extend from Control Point RO (MP CFP-110) in Arlington south to the 

CSX Transportation (“CSXT”) A-Line/CSXT-S-Line junction at MP A-11 in Centralia, Virginia (Chesterfield 

County), a distance of approximately 123 miles. 

This project is receiving federal funding through the FRA, requires permits issued by federal agencies 

such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and will traverse federal land including parcels owned by the 

U.S. Marine Corps and the National Park Service, among others. Due to the involvement of these and 

several other federal entities, the undertaking requires compliance with the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), as amended. The 

FRA sent your office a project Initiation letter on December 11, 2014, formally commencing the Section 

106 process, and the project’s Area of Potential Effects (APE) was approved by the State Historic 

Preservation Officer (SHPO) on February 2, 2015, as required by 36 CFR 800.4(a)(1). 

We are writing today to coordinate identification studies for structures located within the architectural 

Area of Potential Effects (APE) for Segments 1‒20 (main line corridor). [Structures identification studies 

were not completed on the Fredericksburg or Ashland bypasses (Segments 21 and 22, respectively), as 

these areas were the subject of a Phase IA reconnaissance survey only.] Identification of structures was 

not included in the Segments 1‒20 architectural technical reports as several structures span multiple 

segments. Similarly, there are three railroad systems that cross through several segments; these three 

rail systems are also included in this report.

Enclosed please find two hard copies and one electronic copy of the report entitled Architectural 

Reconnaissance Survey of Structures for the Washington, D.C. to Richmond, Virginia High Speed Rail 

Project, Rosslyn to Alexandria (ROAF) through Buckingham Branch/Hospital Wye (BBHW) Segments. The 

report was authored by Kristine A. Chase with Dovetail Cultural Resource Group (Dovetail), a member of 

the DC2RVA Project Team. The report meets all standards set forth in both the Secretary of Interior’s 

Standards and Guidelines (1983) and the Virginia Department of Historic Resource’s (DHR) Guidelines for 

Preparing Identification and Evaluation Reports (2011). 

In total, 126 structures were identified within the corridor’s architectural APE. Of these, 32 are

previously recorded and 94 newly recorded historic structures were identified. One previously recorded 

resource, the Virginia Central Railway Historic District (088-5364), was previously determined by DHR to 

be eligible for the NRHP. In addition, four previously recorded structures were determined by DHR to be 

potentially eligible for the NRHP: Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, 007-5513; Mayo Bridge, northern 

segment of 14th Street Bridge, 127-5809; Southern Railway, 127-6792; and Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad, 

127-6793. The DC2RVA Project Team recommends that these structures should retain their previous 

eligibility status. 

In addition, as a result of the current survey, four structures are recommended potentially eligible for 

listing in the NRHP under Criteria A–C. These include two railroad historic districts (029-5724 and 500-

0001) and two railroad bridges (111-0132-0025 and 500-0001-0022). 

The remaining 117 structures are recommended to be not eligible for individual listing in the NRHP. 

In addition to their individual eligibility recommendation, several structures within the DC2RVA corridor 

are located within the boundaries of potentially eligible/eligible/listed historic districts (n=99 or 78.5

percent). Of those, Dovetail recommends that 57 are contributing structures to their respective historic 

district(s) and 42 are noncontributing. (A table is attached showing the resource numbers, names and 

addresses of these resources.) 

We invite your agency to concur with these recommendations within 30 days of receipt of this letter. If 

you have questions about historic property studies for this project, please do not hesitate to contact me 

or Heather Staton at (540) 899-9170 or via email at kbarile@dovetailcrg.com/hstaton@dovetailcrg.com. 

Sincerely, 

Kerri S. Barile, Ph.D.
